Glycerine (or glycerol) is a triol or polyol compound. In its pure form, glycerin is a colourless odorless, sweet tasting, viscous liquid. As an alcohol with three hydroxyl groups, it is hydroscopic and soluble in water. Glycerine is a byproduct of three main processes: fat and oil splitting, fat and oil saponification, and biodiesel manufacturing. The fats and oils used can be from animal or vegetable sources. Univar Solutions is proud to be a leading glycerin distributor.
